Iris and the Dragonflies is a novel written by Rosemary Danielis. The book is all about an eleven year old child named Iris. Unlike all other children, she prefers staying on the creek instead of playing with her friends. She also do not like going to school, not because of her resistance for learning but because of the fact the she can't relate with her classmates. Her only friends are the dragonflies. It amazes her how she can connect and relate with the said creatures.

Nonetheless, Iris is a special and loving child. She cares for the environment and enjoys doing great things for everyone. Her deep connection with the dragonflies became stronger especially when she learned about her destiny. My most favorite conversation in the book is this:

Iris: "A journey? Where am I going?"
Lea (dragonfly): "It's a journey into the future. Don't worry Iris, you are not alone. We are all in this journey together."

The relationship of Iris with the dragonflies is exceptional. It was only with these creatures that she learned the true meaning of friendship.

This novel is a certified must-read! It's perfect for all ages. You can read it yourself and allow Iris to bring you back to your childhood days. You can also give this book to your kids and teach them about how Iris managed to fulfill her destiny. If you wish to read Iris and the Dragonflies, enter on the Rafflecopter below!

Kids are amazing! I honestly believe that the best thing that ever happened to me was becoming a mom. Everyday they do or say something that either keeps me on my toes or makes me laugh uncontrollably. From the funny things they say and do to those funny little personalities. I am truly blessed to have my little comedians. This is Cheyenne and her audition to be the next KISS member!

Today we are going to give something away for the kids. All kids love getting mail, even if its just the weekly flyer from the supermarket. Well we want them to get super excited about getting something special just for them! We will even personally address it to them! Enter from March 30 - April 2, 2012!

Educational Insights is a great company that makes education FUN! Their products are designed by both educators and parents so they're sure to be a hit with parents and their little ones. I've been given the opportunity to review a couple of their games, and I must say it's been fun! :)

Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game (Ages 3-5)

The object of this game is to be the first one to fill your log with acorns. Just spin the spinner, pick up the acorns with your squirrel squeezers, and put them in your log! The box is very sturdy and it is convenient that it's used as part of the game. All the pieces are well made, especially the squirrel squeezers, which were super easy for my 3 1/2 year old to use. I love that there aren't a ton of pieces because it's easy to keep track of everything, and there's plenty of room in the box to toss it all back in when you're done.

Within 10 minutes of opening the box, my daughter knew all the rules and was so proud of herself for being able to play this "big girl" game. It is very simple, but it teaches color matching and I did notice her developing different strategies the more we played. The spinner is simple, you can land on "pick an acorn", "steal an acorn", or "lose your acorns".

After you spin, you use the squirrel squeezers to grab the acorns from the tree and put them in your log. The squeezers are VERY easy to squeeze, we had no problems using it. Another great thing about this game is that it only takes a few minutes to play, so it's up to you how much time you want to spend playing. All in all, my daughter had a blast with this game and I believe she'll continue playing it for a long time. I would recommend this game to anyone with preschoolers!

Grandma's Trunk Alphabet Game (Age 5+)

My daughter calls this one "the letter box". Inside the storage trunk is 26 alphabet picture cards with upper and lowercase letters; color-coded red vowels and blue consonants on one side, 26 riddle cards, and a guide with 5 different ways to play.

There are instructions on how to use this game with a whole classroom, a small group, and just one child. The cards are very sturdy and have nice big letters along with pictures. I laid them all out on the table with only the picture side up and asked her to show me which ones were for which letter. It actually took longer than I expected for her to get bored with that, probably because the pictures are so colorful and well done.

After that we flipped them over to the letter sides (which also have pictures) and put them in alphabetical order. There are lots of ways you can arrange the game to suit your child's needs. The riddle cards are like the one pictured to the left. They are excellent for exercising that brain power! This game is also very easy to put away and the box is small enough to keep almost anywhere. We had lots of fun trying out these games and both were a hit with my daughter! I am very pleased with her reaction because I know she will continue to learn from them until she graduates to the next step in learning.
